Hey there! We’re excited to share some eye-opening statistics from our IVF lab for 2005. While these numbers haven’t officially made their way to the CDC/SART yet, they give us a good snapshot of our clinic’s performance. Just a heads-up: when comparing data from different centers, remember that every clinic has its unique patient profiles and treatment methods, so take these figures with a grain of salt.
First off, it’s important to know that we don’t limit IVF access to just those patients who are most likely to succeed. This approach leads to a more diverse patient group, including a significant number of individuals with Decreased Ovarian Reserve (DOR). In fact, in 2003 and 2004, around 28% and 22% of our patients were diagnosed with DOR, respectively.
We also pride ourselves on handling a large volume of IVF and egg donation cycles. More cycles mean more reliable data, so we keep our finger on the pulse of ART practices. Plus, our success rates with frozen embryo transfers are nearly on par with fresh transfers, thanks to our solid embryo freezing program. This not only helps in reducing the risk of multiple pregnancies but also increases the chance of having more than one successful pregnancy from a single cycle.
Fresh Embryo Transfer Success Rates
- For patients under 35: 39% pregnancy rate from 158 cycles
- For ages 35-37: 42% from 154 cycles
- For ages 38-40: 27% from 166 cycles
- For ages 41-42: 16% from 104 cycles
- For those over 42: 7% from 71 cycles

- Patients using donor eggs: 60% from 192 cycles
Frozen Embryo Transfer Success Rates
- For patients under 35: 33% from 115 cycles
